EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a woman police officer takes a moment of respite in her bedroom at Pembridge Hall Section House, located in the heart of Bayswater, London. The image, captured in the late 1940s, showcases the officer's relaxed demeanor as she sits in front of a wooden bedstead, brushing her hair in the mirror. Her Bather style uniform, introduced by the Metropolitan Police in 1946, lies discarded on the bed. The uniform, which included a peaked cap, blouse, and skirt, represented a significant step towards equality in employment for women in the police force. The officer's bedroom, adorned with a vase of flowers on the windowsill, exudes a sense of comfort and tranquility. The room's simple yet elegant decor, with its curtains drawn back to reveal a view of the bustling city outside, adds to the image's charm. The officer's uniform, complete with peaked cap and armband, lies nearby, a reminder of her duties and responsibilities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a policewoman during the post-war era, a time of great change and progress for women in Britain. It highlights the importance of providing adequate accommodation and leisure facilities for policewomen, enabling them to maintain their physical and mental wellbeing while carrying out their duties. The image also underscores the significance of the police force's decision to introduce the Bather style uniform, which not only acknowledged the role of women in law enforcement but also allowed them to perform their duties with dignity and pride.
